Crossway Baptist Church meets on Sunday mornings at 9:30 A.M. at Donald E. Suburu Elementary School, located at 7315 Harris Road.
The school is in the southwest of Bakersfield, and is just East of Gosford on Harris in the Silver Creek community (across from the new Sam’s Club and Kohl’s).
Come enjoy friendship, worship, and biblical teaching with us as we meet weekly.
Our worship service begins at 9:30 on Sunday morning and is focused on exalting our Savior and God because worship is demonstrating God’s infinite value and glory through loving acts of service, devotion, praise, and obedience. Our services include worship through scripture reading, fellowship, preaching, giving, traditional signing, and prayer.
We serve coffee, doughnuts, and bagels to those who come during our Café time at 10:45 A.M. on Sunday. You are invited to join us—the food is on us. It is our way of saying “Thanks for coming.” During this time we enjoy conversation and encouraging each other. Also, we value community and ‘Crossway Café’ gives us a great opportunity to support each other and build relationships.
Our Discovering God meets on Sundays at 11:00 A.M. This time is focused on how we can have a relationship with God and grow in him. Pastor Mark takes everyday issues and teaches us with everyday, normal language. All who want to learn about God and grow in their relationship to Him will find this class enjoyable and challenging.
(7th grade – 12th grade) Our Youth Group meets on Sundays at 11:00 A.M. during the Discovering God Time. The goal of this teaching time, specifically designed for teenagers, is to take the Word of God and apply it to our teens’ lives. The Word of God is something that your teens need to know and practice. This time is specifically designed to not only be informative but also enjoyable. The youth group meets throughout the week and for activities to fellowship and have fun.
Junior Church is a special service we have for younger children ages 4 through 11. The children begin in the main worship service and then are dismissed for a child-focused teaching time. In this class, the children are taught the Word of God through practical illustrations, stories, games, and crafts. The children sing songs, memorize verses and learn to listen and sit quietly. The basics of Salvation, the Word of God, and Christianity are taught during this interactive time. Our goal is that each young child learns the truths that are necessary for the Holy Spirit to work in their lives and save them; it is also that they would then grow to become godly young people. *Child Care is provided for the duration of all morning services (Ages 4 and under).
On Sunday nights we are meeting together in an effort 1) to learn from the Bible and 2) to learn how to study the Bible. Kyle Dunham, Ph.D. is teaching systematically from the book of Romans. Please join us on Sunday nights at Suburu Elementary School at 6 p.m.
Once a month on Sunday nights (instead of our normal Bible study) we meet together at homes. These groups offer a greater opportunity to develop meaningful relationships, prayer, and to discuss the Bible. Contact us about becoming part of one of these groups where you can be introduced to a loving church family in an informal setting.
